KendalHandcrafted Wood Cuckoo Clock MX025

This clock was a sweet purchase at Christmas I bought for my Daughter. She hung it up in her office and says it functions very well the time accuracy is good. I had looked around for a clock and based on the fact this was stylish and has wood built into it, it was a great value for a low price.

The media could not be loaded. I love this cuckoo clock! It was packaged really well. It does require three C batteries. The little bird comes out at the top of the hour. It’s mouth opens and it’s wings flap. I’ve always wanted a cuckoo clock & this one doesn’t disappoint plus it’s a great price. The pendulum swings and it looks like real wood. My whole family loves this little clock!

Loved the clock, but did not keep good time. Still very cute.

Love this clock replaced a real one that wasn’t working

For 61 bucks it is pretty hard to beat. Look at the prices for other cuckoo clocks.The enclosure, faux weights and pendulum are made of wood. It's polished smooth, and is *not* plastic. The little bird that comes out actually flaps his little wings as he sings. He sings on every hour, one cuckoo for each hour in the time, and a bonus little echo cuckoo for each regular cuckoo, to emulate mountain echos. Nice touch. So at eight o'clock you get sixteen cuckoos.The clock has a light sensor so it stops cuckooing after lights out. It was easy to assemble, although the battery compartment lid is a bit sticky, and it takes 3 "C" batteries, not "D". My daughter *loves* it.I wrote that review in 2017. Update from October 2021. The clock still works and the birds still sings, every hour on the hours. It's really a lovely product.

Sorry for the mixed bird calls in the title.Straight forward to assemble - I put some felt pads behind it, like anything else I hang on the wall, to prevent scuffing, if it needs to be pivoted for any reason.The sound is OK. If you're looking for a non-electronic sounding cuckoo clock, feel free to take a flight to the Black Forest and plunk down 800 USD for one with that genuine sound. This one is OK by me and not too loud, although I have to say I'm typically outside of 10' radius around it when it goes off. (Joking aside, if I did have the money, I would spend all that and get a real German cuckoo clock, like the one that was at my great grandparents' house decades ago)We mounted the clock on the wall just to the side of an East-facing picture window that typically has Venetian blinds in the Closed position overnight. With 1st light happening around 4:15 am and sunrise at 5:30, it does first fire off at 6:00 (unless it's really overcast) and continues until 8:00 or 9:00 at night. Soon we'll be on the other side of the sine wave peak and it won't go off so early.Every so often at night, it will make a sound like it wants to go off, but realizes it's late at night and that I would Pelé bicycle kick it off the wall if it did, so it quiets down in maybe a 1/4 second. Again, it's just every so often that noise occurs and I've not been able to correlate that to ambient night lights or fluctuations in on-dock lobster prices up at Bar Harbor. Where's AI and Deep Learning when I need it?It does "lose" time, when measured again computer / cell phone time, but it's maybe a minute over a few months. I think it's competing with our automatic cat food dispenser which has a similar drift. One of these days, I'll push the minute hand a minute forward. I wish there were an App for these bothersome physical activities. Wait... if I had a real cuckoo clock I'd be doing this more often.

Cuckoo does not work. Pendulum will not swing. I read and reread directions and it will not work. Clock keeps time but that is all. Returning. What a disappointment

Great! Easy to put together and bird has a good cocoo and doesn’t eat much! Lol
